1.The advantages of writers using the model “entering the conversation” according to Gerald Graff and Kathleen Birkensten is that it allows writers to hear from multiple points of views as well as form there own opinion.

2. I agree with the statement that learning to look at artwork can help us analyze other situations because art can sometimes tell a story just by looking at it and deeply analyzing it you can try and put the pieces together on what the artist is trying to portray. The same way you can do that for art you can use those analyzing skills to help in other situations.

According to Graff and Birkenstein ” entering the conversation”, helps us in overall life. It helps us to know other people’s ideas and we can examine their motives.
